I installed Django on digital ocean using mod_wsgi, but it is having 500 Internal Server Error. When I look in apache error log, here is what I got:

[Tue Dec 17 02:38:09 2013] [error] [client 175.110.123.23] ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb
On last line, it says, ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb . By that I guess there, python's MySQLdb module need to be installed. But I had such problem on local machine too, but that wasn't 500 Internal server error. Also right now on server, it is Debug true. So don't think that 500 Internal Server error was due to MySQL DB module.
So any idea what is the problem that is causing 500 Internal Server error? I think there is some problem in mod_wsgi configuration but not sure. Please let me know if you have any idea.
a system package is required to install MySQLdb on linux (with aptitude) you can install it using:
python-mysqldb - Python interface to MySQL
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldbpip install MySQL-python
